Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin inspired great faith particularly in his friend Bishop Willson (shortly to take the arduous journey to "The Antipodes"), that his style (Gothic Revival) was "good" and would be ideal for the settlements in the Antipodes. This exhibition celebrates the talents of one of England's great early Victorian designers whose all too brief career included a significant but previously largely unknown contribution to the 'making of Australia' and more specifically to the evolution of design in this country. EXHIBITION OUTLINE Brian Andrews, Curator of Creating a Gothic Paradise: Pugin at the Antipodes has arranged the exhibition in 7 sections.

  • Magdalen Home, Mount St. Canice
    MAGDALEN HOME MOUNT ST. CANICE THE EARLY YEARS BY VALERIE J. BAXTER B.A. DIP. SOC. STUDS. Submitted in fulfilment of the reqirements for the degree of Master of Humanities University of Tasmania, December 1993 This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any tertiary institution and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, except when due reference is made in the text of the thesis. All names of inmates of the institution and of their families have been changed for reasons of confidentiality. Friday 10th December 1993 Abstract Prostitution was rife in nineteenth century Tasmania, and a variety of philanthropic efforts attempted to assist underprivileged girls who were involved or likely to become involved in the trade. Magdalen Home became the largest and most enduring of these endeavours. This thesis studies the early years of the Magdalen Home. Chapter 1 describes the life of Father William John Dunne, whose bequest provided the capital for the founding of the Home. Chapter 2 examines the will of Father Dunne, attempting to illustrate how, with careful execution, it provided funds for the institutiion to commence in 1893, with a substantial land holding and edifice. Chapter 3 looks at the role played by the Good Shepherd Order and the Catholic press in establishing the institution. Chapter 4 deals with the establishment of the commercial laundry and farm, which were to become mainstays of the Home. It also describes the building extensions up to 1900.
